Nigella Lawson Portobello Mushroom Cheesesteak Sandwich Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the white, portobello, cremini and oyster mushrooms, season with salt and cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are browned thoroughly, about 5 minutes. Season the mushrooms with the Montreal steak seasoning and Worcestershire sauce. Add the thyme sprigs and cook for 1 minute more. Transfer the mushrooms to a plate and set aside.
• Add 2 more tablespoons of butter to the same skillet and throw in the onions and green and red peppers. Reduce the heat to medium low and cook the veggies until dark golden and soft, about 8 minutes.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Add the black pepper and cayenne to the processed cheese sauce and stir. Microwave according to the package instructions until hot.
• To toast the rolls, spread 1 tablespoon of butter on the inside of both the top and bottom of each roll with a butter knife. Place the rolls on a baking sheet butter-side up and broil until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
• To build the sandwiches, spread 1 tablespoon of mustard and 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise on the bottom half of each roll. Place a pile of mushrooms onto the bottom of each roll. Top with the peppers and onions and spoon a generous amount of cheese sauce over the veggies. Place the top on the sandwich and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
• In a saucepan, melt the butter for the bechamel, and add the flour, stirring gently to make a smooth paste. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the milk. Turn the heat back on to medium, and stir the bechamel until it begins to thicken and come to the boil. Let it bubble for about 5 minutes to get rid of the floury taste. Take off the heat and season with salt, pepper, and nutmeg.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter and the oil in a large wide pan. Drain the porcini, reserving the liquid, and chop before adding to the pan with 3/4 cup chopped parsley, the dried or fresh thyme, and garlic. Stir for a couple of minutes then melt the remaining 1 stick of butter in the same pan and add the chopped mushrooms, stirring for about 5 minutes. The mushrooms will appear dry at first but will eventually start to give off some liquid.
• Add the porcini soaking liquid, which the mushrooms will largely absorb, but keep stirring and add the sherry and let it bubble away. Turn off the heat when you have a bronzed, syrupy stew.
• Stir the mushroom mixture into the bechamel and add 1 cup of the Parmesan and the other 3/4 cup of the chopped parsley. Put a big pan of water on for the pasta, and when it boils, salt it well. Cook the pasta until al dente, then drain and add to the mushroomy white sauce, stirring it as best you can to get the pasta covered.
• Turn into the large roasting pan and sprinkle over the remaining 1 cup of Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes or until the top begins to turn golden in places.
• When the tin comes out of the oven, decorate with the remaining 1/4 cup chopped parsley and some sprigs of fresh thyme.

Steps:

• Crumble or mash the blue cheese with the sour cream in a bowl.
• Mash in the avocados. If they are ripe, a fork should be all you need.
• Roughly chop the sliced jalapeños and stir them into the mixture along with the finely sliced scallions.
• Arrange in the center of a plate or dish, dust with paprika, and surround with tortilla chips. Dive inches.
